Irish I Was Irish

The shows were some of my favorites we've ever done! Ethan was marvelous, and our new crew guys (Derek, Travis, James, and Tyler) helped make everything run nice and hitchlessly.

Even though we always wanted to, we had not yet played a show with New Found Glory. The show Friday was pretty special for that and more.

I had a really great time meeting everyone in my path this week. Thanks for taking the time to come to a show and say hi. The Wedding and Rookie Of The Year were tops, and pre-existing friendships were made stronger still.

There's so much more to tell of, but my internet time has expired for this evening. I've got bags to pack.

You guys did an amazing job at St. Vincent on Friday. I really enjoyed "The Thief," as that's one of my favorite songs and I never expected to hear it live. I was somewhat surprised to not hear a Top Gun/80s-related cover, but I'll deal. Warped Tour can't come soon enough, that's for sure.

Hooray For Being Irish! I'm Sure My Crazy Uncles Were Thinking About Your Fantastic Music Yesterday So That Must Count For Something :) Im Glad You Had Such A Good Time At These Shows! I Really Wanted To See You In PA, But No One Would Drive Me That Far. You Need To Come Back To Boston! Its Been A Whole Year And 6 Days Since You Were Last Here! :)

I'm very excited because my (usually selfish) brother said he would take me to the next show you guys play near me (come to south carolina). That means I don't have to be worried about anyone else except for myself (and my brother) so I can get tickets early because I want amazing seats and I can stay as late as I want so I can meet you and the rest of the guys.

Heeeey.I was at that show, at St. Vincent.and then, I saw you later that night...in the hotel you stayed out...it was maybe 2am-3am, idr, it was late, I walked up to you, almost said hi, and almost peed my pants. But I never did. and I wish I would've. I doubt you remember though. But I'll never forget. =]
